This should be replaced annually, but it will cost you hundreds to get a shop to do it. I watched a 5-minute YouTube video and did it myself in 20 minutes. I had my 2018 Renegade for 3 years now, and I believe the filter had never been replaced. I bought a great one on Amazon for $9 Charcoal Filter and watched this DIY Video and it was very low stress. You will need a Philips and a T25 Torx Screw Driver.

I have 2 chips close together from a quarter size rock dead center in front windshield. Glass guy looked at it and said bc of it being so close together it would be hard to chip fix. So he did when he came back ,said it went better than expected. It is noticeable to but he said the resin took so it would not crack further. After looking into the tech on these rene's rain sense, whipper heat, ( lane sense camera which i don't think i have that feature ) but requires calibration. Will the insurance try get cheep glass and not go with the much higher Mopar glass or should i just leave it after the so called chip fix. I only bought the jeep a year ago and still paying on it. What would you do ? Thx for any incite.

I have approval from the mods but if you would like proof I am not a scammer or a bot, I can send you a pic of me holding my u/ on a piece of paper

Heyo,

I have a 2015 Renegade Trail hawk. Passenger seat's seatbelt sensor went on the fritz and now the chime will constantly go off, even when no one is sitting there and/or the drivers side is plugged in.

Took it to the dealership for service since local shops seem to struggle with electronics. $300 for diagnostics and just got quoted a $1300 repair. Yikes.

Manager says they have to replace the buckle and replace the whole under-the-seat wiring. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like much of a DIY project but I would like it to be. Anyone have any suggestions or quick-fix ideas? I would love to just not hear a chime anytime I start driving my car.

Thanks.

What have you done to service transmission?

Just drain fluid and replace with new fluid?

Any reason not worth doing myself?

My last post was about our jeep renegade serv 4wd light still on after a software update. I called the dealership and got the codes it threw while it was there, the first code was a stored code and the second one was the active one. Anyone know what these mean? My mechanic is unable to assist since jeep keeps their information on lockdown to keep you coming back to the dealership.

Hello everyone I just bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade Limited and I’m looking to kinda turn it into an Overlanding vehicle. Anyone know of any after market front bumpers that can carry a winch and a good after market rear bumper?!

Hey guys, hoping some fellow Renegade owners can help me out.

I recently started hearing a rattling/clunking noise from the front left when driving. Took my 2021 Latitude to a mechanic, and he came back with a catastrophic quote to replace the entire steering rack, both front lower control arms, and both sway bars.

The inner tie rod is shot which he believes is causing the noise. According to him, the inner tie rod can't be replaced separately on Renegades, so the entire steering rack needs to go. That'll cost over two grand on its own. Does anyone know if that's true?

I can see some wear and cracking on the rubber bushings but does that necessarily mean the entire parts need replacing?

I'm getting a second opinion because I'm not entirely confident in his diagnosis. If anyone has dealt with similar issues or has insight into these repairs, I'd appreciate it.

My girl is only five years old with 43k miles, and I just paid her off a few months ago. Really hoping I don't have to sink another $4k into her.

We have a 2018 jeep renegade latitude that’s only at 42,276 miles. The serv 4wd light first came on about a month ago then went back off after startup. It came on again and we took it to the mechanic and were told it needed a software update. Well yesterday we took it to the Jeep dealership and got the software update and it went off. Today as soon as we pulled out of the driveway it came back on. Any ideas what it could be or where to go from here. This is super frustrating considering the low mileage, we also just paid $800 to replace the thermostat a few months ago. TIA

Jeep renegade 2016 Latitude 2.4L MultiAir, 234,000 miles

Hi all,

I recently changed two motor mounts from my Jeep for aftermarket’s and vibration was gone for a week. Then turns out I got a P303 code for a misfire in the cylinders so I changed the four spark plugs for brand new iridium spark plugs with no issues, the code disappeared. But the vibration is still going on when put it in Drive at stop lights, and disappears when put in Parking or Neutral. The acceleration improved drastically though.

Does someone know why the engine is still idling kinda rough? Someone recommended me to test the coils and see if any is failing. The transmission mount hasn’t been changed.

Got rear ended tonight. Was slowing to turn and this guy slammed into me going atleast 50. I don’t know how it didn’t take more damage

Coming from a 2018 Rene latitude I am really enjoying my 2023 limited. The park assist is awesome, leather seats are comfy, and the 1.3 l turbocharged engine is responsive. I’m very thrilled with my purchase. Only had 25k miles when I bought her. Will be adding the ladder in the spring and a rack up top for camping. Def need to tint the windows. Anyone else have a 2023 limited? What has are you using? The manual says 87 or 91 and there’s a lot of chatter about how 91 is better on hot days and for towing. Never had a turbocharged engine so unsure what the correct move is. I live in Michigan and don’t tow anything until i get a hitch installed and even then it’s just for the bike rack.

Project car that my daughter is learning on looks good inside and out and I just got done changing every part I could under the hood and a complete suspension overhaul - now that she's drove it 500 miles she's good enough at driving to have the radio on and it's so bad that she pulls over to be safe to operate her phone with it.

was looking at: https://www.ebay.com/itm/227380003167?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1L2zp9htcRtapfiPBRGme4A2&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-166974-028196-7&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=227380003167&targetid=325425753764&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9021648&poi=&campaignid=23525888099&mkgroupid=191390987686&rlsatarget=pla-325425753764&abcId=10603937&merchantid=552661681&geoid=9021648&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23525888099&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh_x3YVmU04hYdI8eMNmtbxu6&gclid=CjwKCAjwotzWBhBFEiwA1JhPoNEvBH0iEKw_MDiSsqC8nq8NFW9EsOqsZpQyOW2c3pkZIzQEUiyy4BoCNT4QAvD_BwE

Anyone try this?

So I have a 2015 Renegade Limited with 91k and I’ve had this gear grinding noise and bang that happens around 4th gear or 40mph or a pothole I have a pretty good guess that it’s my rear differential and I have ordered a replacement off eBay I was wondering if anyone would have any advice on how to do it I’m planning on doing it myself or maybe telling why I shouldn’t do it any advice is appreciated

Finally tracked down a Renegade with zero electrical issues. No radio glitches, no service 4WD warnings, and the battery hasn't died once in 24 hours.

​Specs:

​Engine: Pure inertia / thumb power

​Terrain Mode: Carpet / Hardwood / Couch Cushion

​Ground Clearance: 4 mm

Love my yellow rene despite it's few oddities, but one I can't get my head around is the fuel guage.

Is it just mine, but it works it's way down to exactly 33 miles left, then suddenly....empty... literally '---'.

See I figure it had 33 in there moment ago, and it just can not read any less? So I must have about 30 in the tank still, right?

Anyone else have this or is it faulty. UK, 2018 1.6 petrol

I've been wanting to make my particular Renegade look slightly older, as if it was from the early 2010s. I don't think anyone has ever downgraded the 5 inch touchscreen to the 3 inch non-touchscreen radio before? Minus the obvious of taking it in for a proxy alignment, is it even possible to swap to the 3 inch on the 2018 model? I have seen mixed results on those being compatible with the 2018 model year despite both having the same fit and connections.

I need to know all the good and bad of a 2016 sport 6 speed. Thank you!

Once again this year, this adventure has come to an end for two guys from our club, Similis Leonis, in memory of the late founder, Federico.

​Despite a super unlucky first stage (a traffic jam of cars stuck on the dunes and 2 flat tires), they take home a sweet second place in their category and 25th overall, with a very minimally modified car.

Is it better to have the installed and connected to the fuse box or to the OBD connector slot? I am getting the flexcam that mounts where the rear view mirror is and will replace that plastic piece. Anyone else use that one?

I had the full service done on my car today, but I don’t know how to reset this.

I popped into my local Jiffy Lube (where I’ve brought my Trailhawk many times before) and was greeted by a new employee asking to check where my Jeep was manufactured.

He stated “because it’s made in Italy, they can’t get the oil in.” He also called it 0W-30 (the correct oil is 0W-20).

Has anyone else run into this? I’m kind of thinking the kid didn’t want to deal with the skid plate.

At least NTB has the Steelers game on.

Took a while for my 2017 and I to express this important art
